Thanksgiving Day is the most authentic American holiday among the national holidays in the United States, and it is most closely related to the early American history.
In 1620, immigrants, or Puritans, sailed to the United States by may flower, looking for a place where they could have freedom of belief. After two months of sea bumps, they arrived in what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts in the cold November.
In their first winter, more than half of the settlers died of hunger or epidemics. Those who survived began to sow in the first spring. ?
All summer, they waited anxiously for the harvest, because they knew that their lives and the future of the colony depended on the coming harvest. In the end, the field got a bumper harvest that exceeded expectations. ?
Therefore, people decided to set a day to thank God. Many years later, the President of the United States declared the fourth Thursday of 1 1 month as Thanksgiving Day. ?
Thanksgiving celebrations continue to this day.
The pattern of Thanksgiving celebrations has never changed for many years. This big family dinner was planned months ago. On the dining table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes. ?
There will be plum pudding, meat pie, other kinds of food, cranberry juice and pumpkin. Among them, roast turkey and pumpkin pie are the best and most attractive. ?
Over the years, they have been the most traditional and popular food for Thanksgiving.
Everyone agrees that dinner must revolve around roast turkey filled with bread sauce to absorb the delicious juice when roasting turkey. ?
However, it is not easy to reach an agreement on the precise stuffing of royal birds because cooking varies from family to family and living area.
Today's Thanksgiving Day is a national annual holiday in all aspects. On this day, Americans of all faiths and backgrounds express their gratitude for their kindness in the past year and sincerely pray for continuous blessings.
